When muscle is damaged, resident stem cells mediate the repair of the injured tissue. At the same time, circulating immune cells race to the site to...

The study identifies RNAs not previously known in these processes, helping to better understand how the complex neuron-generation process works at the molecular level. Microscopic image of developing...

The availability of terabytes of RNA-Seq data and continuous emergence of new analysis tools, enable unprecedented biological insight. There is a pressing requirement for a framework that allows for fast, efficient, manageable, and reproducible RNA-Seq analysis. Iowa State University researchers ...

RNA sequencing is a powerful technology for studying cells and diseases. In particular, single-cell RNA sequencing helps uncover the heterogeneity...

A study of gene activity in the brain’s hippocampus, led by UT Southwestern researchers, has identified marked differences between the region’s anterior and posterior portions. The findings, published today...

Scientists at Biogen, Inc. developed Quickomics, a feature-rich R Shiny-powered tool to enable biologists to fully explore complex omics statistical analysis results and perform advanced analysis in an easy-to-use interactive interface. It covers a broad range of secondary and tertiary ...

Researchers have mapped in fine detail the genetic changes malaria parasites go through as they prepare to infect people. The transmission stages...

Infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in humans could cause coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Since its first discovery in Dec 2019, SARS-CoV-2 has become a...

Researchers at the Vienna BioCenter designed a testing protocol for SARS-CoV-2 that can process tens of thousands of samples in less than 48 hours. The method, called SARSeq, is published in the journal Nature Communications and could be adapted to ...

Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived cell types are increasingly employed as in vitro model systems for drug discovery. For these studies to...
